IPhone 6 photo and video retrieval after restoring backup from my old iPhone 5 unit
Hi,
I was so excited to use my new iPhone 6 and started taking photos and videos with it. Not to mention that the photos and videos were of my all-time favorite artist during his much-awaited concert . When I got home, I forgot to download all the media files first to my desktop before performing "restore backup" via iTunes so all my old iPhone 5 settings could be duplicated in my new iPhone. Now, I can only access the photos/videos taken from my iPhone 5 in my iPhone 6. Not sure if I could still retrieve the new photos/videos taken recently using my iPhone 6 when they seem to have been overwritten by my old iPhone files. Please help.
Thanks!
Correction: the message that iTunes hangs at for hours on end was "Waiting for changes to be applied".

I downloaded the new itunes. So, i plugged in my 5th generation ipod and when i plugged it in, it asked me if i want to set it as new ipod or back up from the 2nd generation ipod touch that i plugged in before, i accidently clicked on the back up from before so it when its done, it looked like my 2nd gen. ipod and i dont like it. All my photos and videos from 5th gen. Ipod were all gone and there are some pictures that i really need as soon as possible. Is there a way i can i can get those photos and videos back? I really need them. :(
Did you fail to import them to your computer?
If so, then they are gone. -

When restoring my backup from my old iphone via my computer to my new iphone, it gets all the way through the restore and then at the end it says there was an error and doesn't restore. Doesn't say what error.
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

how come I'm not seeing my iphone photos and videos when Iog in to icloud on my PC or online? When I log in to icloud the photos icon is missing. I have photostream and icloud activated on my iphone..
There is no way to view your photos via iCloud.com. Videos are not uploaded.
Photo Stream merely "pushes" the photos to your other devices. -
My icloud contact list is screwed up. I have my contact list in my PC backup. I've removed icloud from iphone AND changed apple ID and icloud ID, yet when I attempt to restore backup from PC to iphone, my correct contact list shows up momentarily, then reverts to the screwed up icloud contact list.
I understand that my PC backup is set to connect to icloud; however, one would think by removing the email address associated with apple or icloud that it would not be able to connect to icloud when I do a restore backup from PC to iphone. Yet each time I find icloud connected via my old email address after attempting the restore.
How do I fix this? This seems like an icloud bug, since it connects via my old email/ID.The problem may be that the iphone is immediately syncing with icloud and losing the newly restored data. You might turn off your router. Once restored, turn off icloud on the device, turn on the router, then turn on the iphone.
(I'm going by memory on this, and that hasn't been too reliable lately.) -
I've just upgraded to iPhone 4S and restored data from my old iPhone through iTunes. I'm being asked for a password to get into my phone and the old password I had doesn't work. I don't know what password it's looking for
Thanks for replying, I'm a real techno-cretin. What do you mean by not using the backup? I'm busy trying to restore my new phone and it's doing a 6 hour download with updates. Can I restore the data from my old phone backup onto the new iPhone 4S when the download is done?

What is the precise wording of the error message that occurs on the old iPhone when attempting to do a backup?
Are you attempting to backup via iTunes on the computer or iCloud? -

I have deleted contacts from my old iPhone 4 and they have also been deleted from my new iPhone 6, can they be restored?
How were you syncing contacts? If you still had the iPhone 4 connected and the 6 at the same time, then you may have made a fatal mistake. I'm guessing that you were using a cloud service for your contacts?

I have a backup from an old iPhone that won't delete it says it's in use?
I Bought an iPhone 6 + set it all up and restored it from icloud but it just kept on running restore after it was finished so I backed it up to itunes on my Mac then did a local restore so I have everything, then I backed up the 6 to icloud but now I can't delte the backup from the old iPhone because it says it's in use and I wou like to recover this available space.
An interrupted iCloud restore will wait for approximately three days for the restore to resume, then it will time out. If you wait 3-4 days you should be able to delete the backup.

How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?
How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?
I recently had to get a replacement iPhone 4. The tech at the Apple Store thought that I might have had a software problem and recommended that I not "restore from backup," but start this phone as a new device and just sync the apps and what-not. My calendar on my computer was different than the one on my old phone, though, and now I need the data from my old iPhone calendar. I did back up my old phone just prior to taking it to the Apple Store.
HELP!Well what you can do is update to ios5 then use icloud to sync your calandar up to your phone then restore your phone as new and when prompted in the new phone setup put in your icloud username and password and you will have your calandar events back.

I cannot figure out where I did wrong, honestly speaking.
Or, maybe it is because of the automatic sync function in iTunes? This time when I connected the iPhone with the computer, I was reminded to update iTunes - then I did so; by default, "Automatic sync when this iPhone is connected" is checked so the computer was syncing with the iPhone via iTunes. However I remember that there were notifications saying something like "this iPhone was synced to another iTunes library" and I needed to erase this iPhone to sync it to the new library - then I followed; if I cancel, I wouldn't have any option to sync my iPhone with my computer.
Do you think it is because this operation that iTunes gave me the previous sync data that didn't contain the latest photos/videos?
iphone are meant to be sync to only one iTunes library.
so you went ahead with the sync and it erase all your data?
